What is Psoriatic Arthritis?
Psoriatic arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects some individuals with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition. This condition causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling and can lead to joint damage if left untreated. The symptoms of psoriatic arthritis may vary from person to person but commonly include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, particularly in the fingers and toes.
